Momentum is definitely in Wales favour now, could do with another try while Ireland have 14 men.

Wow complete turnaround, but a couple of missed opportunities probably makes it all too late for Wales.

And that is that in Cardiff, no Grand Slam this year

Absolute shambles in the first half for us, Ireland too complacent in the second

Next up France away and they certainly won't take their foot off the pedal

Fantastic performance from Ireland. O'Driscoll is a powerhouse, my god we will never have a player like him again... It was a game of two half's Wales were outclassed in the first half and Ireland's defence was outstanding in the second. Wales threw caution to the wind and stlll lost by two scores, it was Ireland's best all round performance in a very long time.... finally Zebo, a fellow Corkman, best bit of skill I have ever seen on a rugby pitch.

Gatland being picked at Lions head coach didn't help

Howley doing the best he can but is a bit out of his depth as a head coach albeit a temporary one
Agree about Howley being slightly out of his depth, Gatland is just such a huge force that no way could Howley do the same job.

Wales sacrifice their game for the Lions.

Jonathan Davies is also talking a load of tosh... again.

Last weekend he was so sure Biggar should be picked as fly half, so sure he could handle the role. Come half time today he seems to have changed his tune, berating him for his play and criticising him for not be up to International pace ....... And again telling us that Regional rugby is at a lesser pace to International rugby.

Scotland allowing England to recycle too quickly and seem to be happy to defend out wide. Doesn't seem to be a winning strategy.
England showing lack of finesse in the 22 when having try scoring chances. At least they have decided that chasing a kick is a good idea.

Significantly more comfortable win than anyone predicted.
England can only get better.

Is there a new rule that says it's an infringement if you put the ball in straight at the scrum?

Can't see anyone beating England if they play like they can. Quality outfit at the moment.
